Product Overview · v1.0 Formerly "VoiceBridge"
VoiceVani is a mobile app that acts as a live interpreter during an actual phone call. You speak naturally; the person on the other end hears their own language on a completely ordinary incoming call — no app, no setup, ever, on their side.
// The Problem
You live or work somewhere you don't speak the language. Calling a landlord, an internet provider, a doctor's office, or a bank means avoiding the call, begging a friend, or fumbling with copy-paste translation that destroys conversational flow.
| Alternative | Gap VoiceVani closes |
|---|---|
| Google Translate / DeepL (text) | Manual, breaks call flow, not usable on an actual phone call |
| Google Interpreter / iTranslate Converse | Same-device or pass-the-phone only — not a real phone call |
| Language Line / human interpreters | Expensive (~$2–4/min), scheduled, enterprise-focused |
| Pocketalk-style hardware | ~$300 device, not integrated with your phone |
The wedge: a real phone call, the other side needs nothing, consumer subscription pricing.
// Product Principles
They receive a normal call. No app, no link, no setup — ever. This is the moat; protect it.
A live transcript (original + translation) always on screen, so the user can trust — and verify — what was said.
Audio is processed in transit and discarded. Transcripts are stored only if the user opts in.
Built for EU users from day one — EU-region processing, ephemeral audio, and a clear consent model, not bolted on later.
// App Screens & Design
A locked blue/violet two-color system encodes the two language identities — your language is blue, their language is violet — used consistently across transcript bubbles, the dial accent, and the language-pair selector. Light UI everywhere, except the in-call screen, which goes dark for focus and reduced glare during a live call.
| Screen | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Onboarding | Set native language, permissions, first-call primer |
| Home / Dial | Start a call — number entry, language-pair chip, big call button |
| Live in-call (dark) | State indicator, live dual-language transcript, mute, end |
| Call history | Review past calls with duration and transcripts (if stored) |
| Settings | Language defaults, transcript retention, plan/billing, privacy |
// Pricing
*Fair-use cap applies. Final pricing is still being validated against real usage data from early betas.
